Telluride

Many thanks to Scott and Lisa at the Wilkinson Public Library in Telluride for hosting the educational program about PZP and Spring Creek Basin mustangs last night.

Particular thanks to Chris, reader of this blog and Telluride resident, for your help locating a venue and working on dates and posting fliers around town! I hope we’ll have the opportunity soon to have a joint visit with the horses in the basin.

I appreciate all the people who came out on a busy and drizzly St. Patrick’s Day evening in Telluride and listened to me ramble and asked great questions about the horses and PZP. Information about the BLM scoping notice mentioned during the presentation will be available on this blog when it comes out.

Thanks also to Scott Ransom, who provided a showing of an ABC program about wild horses and the inmate training program at Canon City as well as programs that connect troubled kids and horses. (The longer version of this film is called “Wild Horse Redemption.”)

“Thanks” doesn’t begin to convey my gratitude to JT, who gave a check to NMA/CO that will effectively fund the first round of PZP for our mares. THANK YOU!

The next educational presentation about the Spring Creek Basin mustangs and the upcoming roundup and fertility control program will be held April 13 at the La Plata County Fairgrounds in Durango (time to be announced).
